Did You Know? ENX, ENX-5, and ENX-7 Overhead Projector Bulb Compatibility Issues

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

The ENX, ENX-5 and the ENX-7 lamps work in all overhead projectors that call for an ENX lamp. All three lamps are rated to last 75 hours. The difference between them is the voltage used by the lamp, the light output and the lamp life.  Compared to the ENX:
ENX-5: approximately 15% fewer lumens, 2% less color and 70-100% longer life
ENX-7: Approximately 25% fewer lumens, 4% less color, and 100-150% longer life

Google Earth and unitedstreaming ™

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

Google Earth allows educators to add elements of satellite photography, world geography, locations, and images to the instructional lessons. Teachers can create Placemarks on the Google Earth map. Once the Placemarks are created, teachers can log into unitedstreaming and search for a video segment. Once the clip has been selected, a shortcut of it can be copied and pasted into the Placemark. The student can then access a video clip of the location they are exploring in Google Earth.

Complete instructions are available online.
